Training will increase knowledge and situational awareness and teach drilling teams how to respond correctly during unplanned situations. The drilling team will learn how to identify and eliminate activities with the potential to increase drilling risks. They will get practical experience with the consequences of their decisions; errors, mistakes and successes become very clear. This will help build their experience-base and increase their situational awareness allowing them to more quickly respond to planned and unplanned situations when drilling the actual HPHT well.

Anyone with an interest in the subject should attend.

The course is delivered via classroom, based on presentation, discussions, and tests. The course is delivered over 5 days.
